Scaffold does not load javascript-heavy website firefox/chrome loads

KampfCaspar
I tried to create a translator for parlament.ch - the website of the Swiss Parliament.

However, Scaffold fails at loading this js-heavy website - whereas firefox/chrome have no issue loading it.

To recreate in the most obvious way:
load in Scaffold https://www.parlament.ch/de/ratsbetrieb/suche-amtliches-bulletin
You'll see several 'Sorry, something went wrong' error messages

    Tried with 5.0.96.3 and current beta 5.0.97-beta.57
  • KampfCaspar
    After looking into it, I found the following error message:

    "SyntaxError: invalid regular expression flag s"

    Surprisingly, 's' is a totally valid flag...

    's' was only added to Firefox in June 2020, and the browser in Zotero (based on Firefox) doesn't yet support it.
  • KampfCaspar
    Not even the current Zotero beta? That's a pity.

    Is it possible to recreate the sandbox environment independently of Scaffold? (i.e. is there a description around)
  • adamsmith
    You can just load translators straight into your browser. Save to the translator folder, then update translators from the browser connector

    ... after all it was easier for me (not being a javascript guru) to patch the site using mitmproxy ;) But FF60 really is quote old...

    Thanks for the good answers!
